Q: How much does it cost to have your drapes cleaned?

• <div><p>The average cost for drape cleaning services is around <b>$100</b> <b>per drape set</b>, with most homeowners paying between <b>$75 and $150</b>. The price you can expect to pay depends on the size of the drapes or curtains, the material, and the number of sets. One cost-saving method is to hire a professional drapery cleaner to refresh multiple sets in one service. Drapes that are dry-clean-only will likely cost a bit more, as the cleaning process is more involved and might require your professional to remove them from your home, clean them off-site, and then reinstall them later.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don’t clean my drapes?

• <div><p>Custom curtains or drapes are an investment, often costing hundreds of dollars. Just like rugs or fabric furniture, cleaning helps maintain its original quality and keeps it lasting for years to come. Skipping regular drapery cleaning can result in discoloration, odors, mold or mildew, and even allergens from dust buildup. </p></div>

Q: Is drape cleaning worth it?

• <div><p>Drape cleaning can be an expensive process, but it&rsquo;s very often worth the investment. A professional drapery cleaner will remove odors stuck in the fabric from cooking, painting, exercising, and pets. The deep cleaning process will also remove allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Ultimately, drape cleaning can help your home look and smell fresh, and maintain a healthy indoor air quality. Paying a professional for drape cleaning is worthwhile because it guarantees your cleaning solution won&rsquo;t damage the material and necessitates a replacement.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my curtains?

• <div><p>Regular vacuuming, professional dry cleaning, and avoiding direct sunlight prolong the curtain lifespan.</p></div>
